Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 A friend lent me a deluxe bug zapper hoping it would help my wife's lyme. I first used it on myself and then started digging into who and what Dr expounds. Here is what I have found out. BTW as a side note so far both hot tubs (104f) and salt / C do appear to be helping my wife. I do not discount alternative medicine but I also do know there is allot of fakes out there trying to make money off of people so I approach it all with a healthy dose of skepticism. I am still investigating options. Next I plan to try out MMS (first on myself) and see what it is all about. But now more on Hulda bug zapper. So far it gives me a light headache and metallic taste in my mouth similar to what you get when you put a 9v battery on your tongue. I am not spewing forth any toxins or parasites or any of the other things it is supposed to do. I have been reading some other things about http://www.royalrife.com/0903.pdf (note this is on a site that apparently respects her too) and it really makes her sound like a bonafide nut. Note this is her own words at a conference she spoke at. It appears many hold her in high regard but right now it all seems very fishy to me. I would love to think this device works as claimed but it appears about as useful as homeopathy. (Yes I know a number of you think homeopathy works. I don't and I will put it down as unworkable magic until I can be proven wrong. But I am not wanting to start a debate over it) Allot of what she does is based on her Syncrometer. This really makes no sense either. (At least at first, later I understand much better what is happening) It appears to be a simple resistance type of galvanometer. I played with those as a kid. see also http://www.syncrometer.com/ and watch the demo video. She claims to capture frequencies in water and then play them back years later. I would love to see that tested in an actual lab. It claims it tunes to a resonant frequency but everything I find on it appears to be a simple audio feedback resistance meter. In fact it is not even measuring the resistance of the items on the plate but the resistance of the pressure being put on the probe! Here is an updated circuit now with a complete circuit http://www.maestro-zapper.com/E_schema_syncrometer.html Notice the disclaimer " Be aware : Syncrometer is not easy to master. Dr. recommends 6 months of practice, 1 to 2 hours per day, before testing for others. " This matches what the other websites are saying that people are selling the " correct " way to use the meter to unsuspecting folks. I also found a good expose of this device here http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Misc/misc.health.alternative/2008-01 /msg00067.html and here is a really good site about it http://web.archive.org/web/20031006165556/http://www.uoguelph.ca/~kkolas/#id Basically it is all smoke and mirrors and being manipulated by the operator deliberately to fake out folks. A sure sign of a quack trying to make money off of people's misery. Also the folks who have gotten relief from Lyme via Rife machines say her bug zapper device is basically useless giving it a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. I am still undecided on Rife machines themselves at the moment but will be investigating them as I can. I really don't want to buy a machine to find out it does nothing. But there seems lot of testimonials for them. (Of course there are for the devices too so that is not saying much) I have to put and her devices in the pure quackery category. And finally I also came across this http://www.casewatch.org/ftc/enforcements/amrein/consent.shtml (see below) on the web. ========================= This letter is to inform you that the Dr. Research Association recently settled a civil lawsuit with the Federal Trade Commission regarding its advertising for the Super-Zap per Deluxe, Syncrometer, Dr. 's New 21 Day Program for Advanced Cancers, and Complete Herbal Parasite Program (also known as the Herbal Parasite Cleanse). Among other things, the settlement requires us to notify consumers of the settlement and offer refunds to persons who purchased the Super-Zapper Deluxe, Syncrometer, Dr. 's New 21 Day Program for Advanced Cancers, and Complete Herbal Parasite Program (also known as the Herbal Parasite Cleanse).

Use of the Super-Zapper Deluxe is effective against chronic infections, cancer and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS); C. The Super-Zapper Deluxe and the Complete Herbal Parasite Program are effective to cure all forms of cancer in humans; D. Dr. 's New 21 Day Program for Advanced Cancers is effective to cure all forms of cancer in humans; E.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hello Mr. , I am responding to you regarding your message to the group on 3/25/08. Unfortunately I am unable to make it very short. I have had some experience with Hulda 's alternative medicine and had mixed experience with it. I am a very strong believer in alternative medicine, however, and recommend it strongly for those affected with chronic long term Lyme. I was infected with Lyme in 1994 without any visible indications. Went to several doctors, but not diagnosed. Decided to treat myself thinking it was angina Pectoris as I experienced pains in my chest. Was able to put myself in deep remission by some or all of the following: quit eating a lot and lost 30 pounds ate no sweets of any kind for one year quite eating meat for one year begin to take a large quantify of vitamins and minerals Begin to work out on treadmill for one hour daily, when stopping my clothes would be as wet as if I jumped in a river. Felt very good until 1999, but I retired in 1998 and slacked off on exercise. Begin to experience weird happenings, passing out while setting down feeling as if I would pass out-started to exercise more and lost 20 pounds ankles swelled up as well as feet. My health changes helped, but after a bit these happenings continued so I was afraid to drive my car (might pass out). Woke up one day in Sept 2001 and could barely walk. Went to doctor and was given an x-ray and blood sample was tested. While waiting for Doctor's report I begin to take Knoxx Gelatin with G & C and after about 7 days was walking better. Doctor told me I had long term Lyme disease and put me on Amoxicilin for 21 days. We booth thought I was cured of Lyme disease and my walking ability came back to normal. Later in October I thought I was having severe heart problems and checked myself in the hospital where I was given ever test known to man for heart conditions. While in the hospital one of the neurologist said he may have Lyme in the spinal column, but they decided to get me out as I had used up to much time for my insurance to continue paying. I heard one of the Doctors say this to one of the other doctors. I then was referred to specialist in infectious diseases who said my symptoms did not sound like Lyme. After a bit thought they decided to send me for a spinal tap. I then was put on IV Rocephin, which is one of the strongest main stream medicines. A container the size of a baseball is utilized to put in the liquid medicine and a series of valves and needles are used. The medicine is administered once daily and takes about 45 minutes. A PICC line is inserted in the body in a vein. Anyway while on this medicine, I talked to my home care nurse who examined the PICC line for infection and drew blood for analysis once each week. My nurse also had Lyme and she told me she was on a PICC line for 11 months. I talked to my doctors and they informed me I would be cured in 28 days and refused to continue treatment after the 28 days. I read 7 books about Lyme while on the IV Rocephin and found the network. I learned about a LLMD and found one. I begin to see MY LLMD right after my PICC line was removed. While on the Rocephin I went through several severe HERX conditions. My infectious disease doctors where totally worthless. My LLMD is a very good Lyme doctor, but goes by the main stream medical code book. I continued to have difficulties, read about Hulda 's ideas and tried her Zapper. I believe it killed some Lyme bacteria, but not nearly enough, I experienced a HERX with it so I believe it works some. I tried her parasite cleanse which consists of, Black Walnut Green Hull Tincture, Cloves, and Wormwood. There is a step up procedure with this treatment, but after using it for a day I caused a big squirt of the tincture to shoot into about 3 oz. of water as it was recommended, but only 4 drops on day one 5 drops on day two etc. I woke up the next morning with such a severe HERX that I was unable to hold my head up because my blood pressure was so weak. I may very well have died, but after 8 hours everything went back to normal (blood pressure, etc.). I tried the rife machine. I bought two of the machines and like the Rife machine a great deal. I bought Nina Silver's book and in her book she says Lyme can be cured in 6 months. In order to obtain a cure you must use the machine 6 or 7 hours a day. I did this and felt great, but I quit taking anything else except for my vitamins and minerals. After about 6 months of Rife treatment I begin to have passing out experience again. I went back on Doxy again, and consulted a professional health care provider, This person helped me very much by advising me about a product that is provided by a Canadian company. This product increases one's Natural Killer cell activity tremendously. I have been using it since about mid 2003. It is very good for Lyme, but quite expensive. I also begin to take liquid Cat's Claw which is a great product and not too expensive, but many people can't seem to tolerate it. I also learned about L-Glutamine which will kill Lyme bacteria in the cell walls where main stream medicine can't reach it. I used it in 2002, but would pass out from the HERX so quit using it. I started taking it again in December 2007 and received a very strong HERX for about a month as I took it almost everyday for about that length of time. MY ankles and feet were swollen which has happened to me from time to time with the Lyme and they went back to normal after using the L-Glutamine. My HERX was a burning and itching in my back lower legs, feet and ankles. I am 76 years old and go for one hour walk every day. If the weather is too hot, wet, cold etc. I walk in a shopping mall. I know a great deal about Lyme disease from a personal standpoint. I am not connected with any medical group, or health care providers. I know that to trust anyone about Lyme disease is not very wise and this includes doctors. If you have any questions feel free to contact me, if not no harm intended.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks Sidney for the information! Very helpful! When you say you used a Rife machine could you tell me what type? Plasma, contact, coil etc? My understanding is a rife machine is normally only used 1 or twice a week at most due to the Herx it creates. > Re: [ ] Dr Hulda products > > Hello Mr. , I am responding to you regarding your > message to the > group on 3/25/08.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi Sydney, What is the product called from Canada to increase your T-Cells. I am been using the Source Naturals brand Cats Claw Defense Complex which is a hard tablet. Do you think the liquid form of Cats Claw that your taking is better than the tablet form. My CD-57 is a 20, it was a 34 last fall. I have had Lyme since 1990. My Lyme brain had really bad lately. I am a true believer of nutrition to keep one strong. Thank you, Re: [ ] Dr Hulda products Hello Mr. , I am responding to you regarding your message to the group on 3/25/08. Unfortunately I am unable to make it very short.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Sidney, I was just diagnosed with Lymes March 27th. Have no idea how long I have been infected, but the rash showed up in December 2007. Since I had already had fibromyalgia for about 10 years, I thought initially that the muscle was a recurrence of fibro. I am still getting massage therapy, although my insurance cut off my physical therapy. You sound like you have a wealth of experiences and information. I have been put on doxy [as you call it]. I had been taking l- glutamine for a stomach ulcer so I am curious as to what dosage of it you were using for Lymes. My herbalist put me on oregon grape root tincture [one tsp daily] to assist the antibiotic. Has anyone else used this in their therapy. Thanks Kathleen Eureka I have had some experience with Hulda 's alternative medicine and had mixed experience with it.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I used the model EMEM3D AND MODEL EMEM3V, THE FORMER IS A TUBE THAT LIGHTS AND GIVES OFF THE FREQUENCY WAVES THAT DESTROY BACTERIA. WHILE THE LATER MODEL CAN BE USED WITH A METAL PLATE THAT YOU CAN REST YOUR FOOT ON OR IT WILL CONVERT TO THE TUBE METHOD WITH AN EASY CHANGE. I used the machine extensively for 6 to 7 hours each day after starting out slow. I used to run one frequency for 3 minutes and change frequencies etc. After using the machine for about 6 months and feeling very good I came down with the fainting conditions again as I quit taking any other medication or herbal preparations. I then started using the machine by running the frequencies for 20 minutes at a time. I begin to break out with sores and had intense burning and itching in my back chest and legs because more Lyme bacteria was being killed off. I still had the fainting condition, however. I believe probably one session on a weekly basis might be all one would need, but all other Lyme fighters should be used as well. Unfortunately, I do not believe there is any one Rife machine of today that will cure Lyme, however, a friend of mine told me he talked with a Rutgers professor who claims to have cured himself with the Rife machine and other treatments. If you have not visited the Rife site, give it a view at: _WWW.Royalrife.com_ (http://www.Royalrife.com) If you have any more questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I am retired and have plenty of time and am always very eager to help anyone with Lyme. Best regards, Sidney **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hello Kathleen, that is quite unusual that you started taking L-glutamine for a stomach ulcer and also have Lyme disease. If you took a heaping spoonful, and I mean by heaping one that goes up very high over the spoon you should have experienced a pretty strong HERX if you are heavily infected with Lyme bacteria. The fact that you were diagnosed with Fibromyalgia could be a misdiagnosis as it could have been Lyme all along. Thousands of people with Lyme disease have been mistakenly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. In any case the recommended dosage of L-Glutamine for Lyme is 3 spoonfuls, but it should be taken in a smaller dose until one is sure they can take that much. Since you are recently diagnosed with Lyme you may not know what a HERX is. It is an abbreviation of one of two doctors names who discovered that when Lyme bacteria is killed in one's body it will make you quite ill as the body cannot get rid of the dead bacteria quickly enough. You for sure need a LLMD, but it sounds as if your doctor is very progressive to recommend Oregon grape juice. I have never heard of it for Lyme, but applaud anything that is in the alternative school for treating Lyme. By the way the Lyme may be causing the stomach like ulcer pains as well as it has been know to do so. All my best wishes for you and your good health!

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Sidney, Thank you for you for your thoughtful response. My physician prescribed l-glutamine for the ulcer that was caused by actonel, an anti osteoporosis medication. She was a great holistic physician, but unfortunately, contracted thyroid cancer and is no longer practicing medicine. She is in her 40's--very sad. She will be teaching in medical school as long as she can still work. I have no idea how long I have had lymes, but I did not get the rash until December of last year. I did not really start feeling badly until last fall. I am a classic fibromyalgia diagnosis [10 years ago], though: I had been abused as a child [90+% have been as an adult or child]. I had an injury -- weight lifting which caused the onset 10 years ago. I had good treatment [physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, yoga, etc] and had gone into remission until this Lymes showed up. Now, it just acts like a very severe fibromyalgia attack except that I am also tired. So, you are saying that I should take three heaping teaspoons of l- glutamine each day or is that a single dosage on an as needed basis. I had been taking 1 tsp at a time as needed for my stomach--usually in the morning, no pain, just nausea from the ulcer. I am a vegetarian so my intestinal tract does not deal well with blood, hence the nausea. It never got to the pain stage. My herbalist prescibed Oregon grape root tincture [not a juice] as an adjunct to the antibiotic. It is a natural antibiotic that helps the effectiveness of an antibiotic if you are taking it. It is a plant that is native to this area--grows around the Redwoods in acid soil. The physician who diagnosed the lymes, is also a holistic physician, but unfortunately, does not take medicare and will not allow me to bill medicare--next month I will be 65 so I have to find another physician :-(. I will go to her for alternative treatment consultations and just pay. Thanks again for your response.
